Ken’s place was just right - the private apartment gave my partner and I our own space to retreat to after our first few days of getting used to Bangkok. We found the location perfect - nice and quiet and out of the way from hectic traffic, but close enough to local street food, lunch-time markets and an MRT train station which takes you wherever you want to go.
We really felt like this area became our own neighbourhood after a few days; it’s a good place to stay if you want to feel like a Thai local.
Thank you Ken for all your help and advice!
